This project is moving along just fine. Below is the current leaderboard. It's not about personal module count, it's creating more awareness about Perl. Also, some of these APIs are actually pretty neat! E.g., there's a "card deck" API for card playing programs.
All are invited to participate. Please click here for the rules and to claim the API. This is a great way to get your first CPAN module published, which is a major milestone for any Perl programmer. It's also great for experienced devs to blow off some steam or hone their skills. If you're new to CPAN and need help, email me directly at [oodler@cpan.org.](mailto:oodler@cpan.org)
The runner of FreePublicAPIs has been extremely supportive of this effort. He even created a site API for us, and I obliged by creating a real Perl client for it!
I'd like to specifically request that anyone using any of the new Perl stuff like signatures or Corinna/class to submit some as non-contrived examples of how they work or as proof of why people should use them. Here is a good summary of the new features in Perl 5.40 - give it a shot! I may even try something other than my Dispatch::Fu and Util::H2O::More modules, even though they makes writing commandline tools with subcommands and web API modules dead simple - TIMTODI!
